AMAZING BEAUTY: Dermalogica, Is Your Skin Healthy?

You might not realise it, but your skin is exposed to pollution daily. When you’re taking a walk to buy lunch, getting to your car or having coffee al fresco, you are exposing your skin to harsh environmental pollutants. Daily exposure to pollution can lead to premature skin ageing, and tired looking skin. Studies have shown a link between exposure to air pollution and signs of ageing skin.

Did you know?

Research found that an increase in soot and particles from traffic was associated with 20% more pigmentation spots. Dr. Diana Howard, Vice President of Research and Development at Dermalogica explained, “As fine airborne particles land on the skin, they become lodged within the skin’s deeper structure, generating free radicals that trigger inflammation. The free radicals break down the skin’s natural lipid barrier, increasing trans-epidermal water loss and creates sensitised skin. In turn, we see signs of ageing such as pigmentation and structural degradation.”

What to do?

Dermologica’s new Daily Superfoliant is an active powder that helps to combat signs of environmental skin damage such as brown spots, fine lines and uneven skin tone and leaves the skin ultra-smooth.

How to use it?

Dermalogica’s Daily Superfoliant is gentle enough for daily use but powerful enough to give immediate results. After cleansing, dispense about half a teaspoon of Daily Superfoliant into wet hands and create a creamy, foamy paste by rubbing hands together. Apply to face in circular motion, avoiding the eye area. Massage gently then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
